For those who somehow have missed out on the Wordle craze so far, the rules of the game are simple: players have six tries to guess a five letter word. Players receive clues based on which letters their guess shares with the correct word. A letter shaded in yellow means that letter also appears in the correct word, but in a different letter location. A letter shaded in green means that letter appears in the same spot in the correct word.
On average, it takes Wordle players about 4 tries to correctly guess a daily puzzle, although a few puzzles can be significantly trickier. The past week has featured a number of tough puzzles, with FOUND breaking streaks due to sharing a 4-letter word ending with several other words, and NYMPH eluding players due to its lack of a traditional vowel.
So, what about today’s Wordle? Today’s Wordle is made up of common letters and doesn’t share its first three letters or last four letters with very many words. There are only two other words that share the first three letter placements with the correct answer and no common words that have the same last four letters as the correct answer. You should be able to solve this puzzle with plenty of guesses.To avoid getting caught in a guessing game, remember that Normal Mode players can eliminate answers by using a word that contains letters from possible answers. So, if you need to choose between POUND, ROUND, and SOUND, it might be easier to burn a guess with a word like PURRS to determine which one of those answers is correct.
